obty (object_type) - set or display the type of an object
usage: /etc/obty pathname... [object_type]



DESCRIPTION
     obty is intended for system-level debugging use only.  Misuse of this
     command can cause objects to become inaccessible and programs to behave
     incorrectly.

     pathname (required)
                     Specify object whose type is to be set or displayed.

     object_type (optional)
                     Specify new type setting.  object_type must be a known
                     type; the lty command lists the types currently defined
                     on a volume.

                     Executable files (output of compilers and binders) are
                     obj, coff or unstruct. Most other binary files are rec.

                     Default if omitted:  display current type of pathname

EXAMPLES
     The sequence of the following commands is significant.

     Display current object type:

     $ /etc/obty testfile
     "testfile" object type is nil.


     Set type to coff:

     $ /etc/obty testfile coff


     Display new object type:

     $ /etc/obty testfile
     "testfile" object type is coff.
